Create Review

When you create a review, you select the asset to review. You can attach files to adequately prepared jobs within a controlled workflow. Prerequisite: an administrator has prepared the job type accordingly for later reviews. For this purpose, a variable of the Asset Selector type must be provided on the datasheet of the type. For that purpose, the user also needs the Manage Reviews permission in the module Job Manager. Only then users can see the Start Review entry in the ⋮ asset menu in the Job Manager.

You need to have a Job type ready with the Asset selector variable placed in the datasheet. Create and open a job prepared for reviews in the Job Manager via >Jobs > My Active Jobs (ToDos). If the job does not yet contain any assets to be reviewed, continue with step 2. Otherwise, skip directly to step 7.
